This book chronicles the Green Bay Packers's dominant run to Super Bowl XLV using the words and photographs of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. This keepsake includes game-by-game recaps, special player features including NFL Defensive Player of the Year Clay Matthews, and extended coverage of the Packers in their NFC Championship Game win over Chicago and their Super Bowl XLV victory over Pittsburgh on February 6, 2011. Over 100 full-color photos included. A must have for all Green Bay Packers faithful.
The road that the Green Bay Packers traveled en route to a Super Bowl victory in the 2010-2011 NFL season was full of difficulties. Their record in the regular season was 10-6 and they managed to acquire a wildcard playoff berth due to the tiebreakers rather than outright. There were several times when they played poorly and only barely managed to pull out the victory. Yet, when the playoffs began, they had the appearance of a team of destiny, their victories in the playoffs were not overwhelming, yet the big play was made when it was needed. This book, written by the obviously biased Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinel, is a history of what seemed to be a magical season. Each game is dissected with explanations as to why the Packers either won or lost, presented with only a modest amount of bias. The basic statistics are presented and there are feature pieces on some of the major players such as coach Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers. Whether you are a Packer fan or not, this book is one that you will enjoy if you are a follower of NFL football.
